I don't call the canal surf.

you have a point, if there is no surf, how can you call it surf. So when the ocean beach is flat as a lake,like on race point at times, then you can't call that surf fishing? nonsense.

surfcasting is from a beach with waves crashing in front of you. Surfers surf in the surf, surfcasters fish in the surf

Why does the canl have to fit in some catagory? the place is kinda unique. I hear they catch fish there on eels too

land fishing? what? now it's land fishing, oh ok so we try to catch fish from land, you make it sound like we are casting onto land to catch a landshark
Now I see why clammer calls you whako

Hmmm, this topic sure does ring a bell---now where have we had this discussion before

Oh yeah---now I remember

See Bill, here's one thing you and your old buddy Gowgie agree on

[Diggin Jiggin]

Lets just agree that a fish caught from there is a shore fish and therefore, they count.

And by the way, jig fish count double .

Ummm No not really, "technically" thats not a true shoreline, its a breakwater kind of like the rivers edge...the shoreline would be a place like nauset beach, race point, etc....so they are caught from a man made rockpile

Is fishing the providence"toilet" in the winter for holdovers from the land considered surf fishing?

Lighten up....its a topic...not the end of the world...everyones has opinions, my opinion is if you fish the canal exclusivelt then you cannot call yourself a surf fisherman in the true sense of the word...

Surf Fishing is any kind of fishing from the shoreline. Surf Casting is casting with plugs or eels. I refer to all bait fishermen as surf sitters in the act of surf sitting. Dennis Z

I don't know anyone who fishes the Canal exclusively. Not even guys who live 5 minutes away
